Abstract
A computed tomography apparatus has a rotating frame unit and at least one of component parts, constituting an X-ray high-voltage generating device, which is mounted on the rotating frame unit. In the apparatus, a signal transmitting section is provided between a rotating frame unit and an outside of the rotating frame unit to transmit a measuring signal at each component part in the X-ray high-voltage generating device. A signal is transmitted by the signal transmitting section between the component part in the X-ray high-voltage section on the rotating frame unit and a device arranged external to the rotating frame unit.
